Computer-based information systems are certainly among the most complex constructions conceived by humankind. And more often than not, those constructions that may be more complex include embedded information systems of some kind. To address the total range of issues and all the variations of process that are or can be employed in the development of information systems is far beyond the scope of this monograph. Thus, the goal here is to focus on the modes of perception, representation, and understanding that lead to the success of all those efforts expended regardless of any particular paradigm, technology, or methodology – and in doing so, to propose an enlightened context within which to consider those paradigms, technologies, and methodologies.
